MAGNOLIA HOTELS

Attracting new customers in a time of rising vacation rental usage and conglomerate hotel chain mergers can be tricky. Magnolia Hotels aimed to rise above the rest with its six unique and historic boutique hotels. Commit Agency helped Magnolia own its uniqueness by engaging with social fans using hyper-localized, user-generated experiences.

social conversions

Through carefully targeted Facebook ad and comprehensive social content strategy, we increased conversions from social media by 2,300% year over year, totalling over 10,000 last-click conversions from social media alone. Average media budget was around $2,500 per month for Facebook ads.

local content curation

It's not polite to only talk about yourself on social media. That's where local insider content comes in. Each picture was hand-selected by the Commit social media team, overseen by me. Bonus points if the photo was from a local, photographer or influencer, establishing a relationship with someone who could promote the brand down the road.
